If there are 5 people (A,B,C,D&E) who are living as joint tenants, then one of them (A) decides to sell to someone else (a third party 'X') that severs the Joint tenancy and becomes a Tenancy in common because that new person ('X') will only have the unity of possession. Also seeing as joint tenancy's cannot be severed at law the original person (A) will still have legal interest just they sold their beneficial interest. Am I right? Also because A severed the joint tenancy into a tenancy In common, are the remaining people (B,C,D&E) joint tenants or tenants in common?
